A whole new way of looking at the world inspired by centuries-old Japanese wisdomWabi sabi (?wah-bi sah-bi?) is an ancient and deeply held philosophy closely tied to Japanese culture. Wabi sabi sees the beauty in imperfection, appreciates simplicity, and accepts that change is inevitable. With roots in Zen, the timeless wisdom of wabi sabi is more relevant now than ever.

Einfach genau richtig sein, dieser Wunsch treibt viele um. Doch was, wenn wir das längst sind und es nur nicht wahrnehmen? Wabi-Sabi ist ein jahrhundertealtes japanisches Konzept, das Schönheit in der Unvollkommenheit erkennt - das ideale Gegengift zum allgegenwärtigen Perfektionismus. Die Japanologin Beth Kempton zeigt, wie wir mit Wabi-Sabi unser Zuhause, unser Arbeitsleben und unsere Haltung zu uns selbst gestalten. Wabi-Sabi lehrt die Wertschätzung von dem, was wir haben, die bewusste Wahrnehmung des Augenblicks und das Loslassen der Vergangenheit. Wem es gelingt, das Unperfekte nicht länger als Kompromiss auf dem Weg zur Perfektion zu betrachten, sondern als authentisches Leben selbst, dem wird sich ein völlig neuer Erfahrungshorizont öffnen.

An original and timely guide to slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves, inspired by Japanese culture, wisdom and traditions - the perfect complement to Beth Kempton's bestselling Wabi Sabi.
